hi all,
I can't seem to create a single installation package for my client
since WSE is distributed in an msi package and hance cannot be
integrated within another MSI. i tried simply copying the dll's but it
didn't work out.

can it be done?

thanks!
DaberElay.

In accordance with the license agreement, you will need to distribute the
msi file. You can call the msi file from your MSI.

I wish they would create a msm file.

What about embedding the WSE msi using a type 7 CA.  Is that possible?

Is it possible, of course it is.  Is it recommended, no.

In the first 1/3 of this MSDN entry Microsoft describes the how.  In
this last 2/3 they give the warnings against and the why nots:

d_installation_actions.asp


Your best bet would be to use a bootstrapper to call the MSI
independently from your installation.

Dear Sven,

I cannot call the msi file from my first msi since 2 installations
cannot run in parallel.

so i'm back to where we started, i cannot deliver a single installation
package...

thanks,
DaberElay.
